Water Unit - all targets

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.

Question
Answer
True or False - Water is a polar molecule   true  
🗑
polar molecule   a covalent molecule with an overall charge because the electrons are not equally shared - has both positive and negative ends  
🗑
surface tension   the "tightness" at the top of water because the water molecules are sticking together, which allows water drops to have a round shape and allow light objects to rest on top of water's surface  
🗑
capillary action   the combined force of attraction among water molecules and with the molecules of surrounding materials  
🗑
give an example of capillary action from class   when the water "jumped" into the tip of the glass eyedropper - the water was attracted to the polar glass molecules and brought other molecules with it when it "jumped up"  
🗑
give an example of surface tension from class   the large water "dome" on top of penny - able to be done because the water molecules are "holding on to each other" (sticking together); the paper clip resting on top of water surface - did'nt break through the water molecules that are sticking together  
🗑
Which end of the water molecule has a positive charge   the hydrogens  
🗑
which end of the water molecule has a negative charge?   the oxygen end  
🗑
why do water molecules stick together?   the positive hydrogen end of one water molecule sticks to the negative oxygen of another water molecule.  
🗑
as the speed of a river increases, the erosion of the stream   increases  
🗑
as the steepness of a river increases, the speed of the river   increases  
🗑
water moving over a rocky river bed moves (faster or slower?) than a smooth river bottom   slower - the rocks cause friction with the water and the water does not travel as fast across them as it does across a smooth river bottom that does not have as much friction.  
🗑
the wider the river channel, the (faster or slower?) the water moves in the river   the faster the water moves - this is because there is less water rubbing along the sides of the river, which is friction that slows the water down. the more narrow channel causes the water to move slower  
🗑
When water moves along a curve in a river, water moves (slower or faster?) around the outside of the curve   the water moves faster around the outside of the curve  
🗑
does erosion or deposition occur on the outside of a river curve   erosion occurs on the outside of the curve because the water is moving faster  
🗑
When water moves along a curve in a river, water moves (slower or faster?) around the inside of the curve   the water moves slower around the inside of the curve  
🗑
does erosion or deposition occur on the inside of a river curve   deposition occurs on the inside of the curve because the water is moving slower  
🗑
list the past misuses of water   dumping of pollution/chemicals/sewage, heating of water, runoff from farms, overuse, overdevelpment  
🗑
how has the misuse of pollution been changed today?   the clean water act/EPA and laws make this illegal  
🗑
how has the heating of water from power plants changed today?   we not use cooling ponds and have laws and regulation against this  
🗑
How has the misuse of runoff from farms changed today   farms now have a new design to prevent this, laws regulating this, and regulation of chemicals farmers are able to use  
🗑
how has the misuse of overuse changed today?   reulgations of conservation from industry - new standards for showers/toilets that use less water/ people are now aware and conserve more  
🗑
how has the misuse of overdevelopment changed today?   we now have rain gardens and reserved lands.  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
